Extending CSS with jQuery
To break in the new year (before everyone get’s drunk!), I thought I’d write a post about how jQuery helps us to extend CSS in ways that make our jobs a whole lot easier. I’ve always thought that jQuery was extraordinary framework – allowing both web developers and designers an easy way to harness the full visual capabilities of JavaScript. One of the nicest advantages of jQuery has been ability to extend CSS beyond what was previously capable with simple mark-up alone. In this post, I’m going to show you how to use jQuery to fix cross browser compatibility issues, solve some shortcomings with CSS, do things CSS just can’t do on it’s own and we’ll finally also go through some real-world problems that will be useful to both those new to the framework and those coders who’ve been using it for a while. I hope you find it helpful!.
